Chicago vs Detroit - The Wings could be one of those teams that has become just torture to play against, tenacious cover the ice do the simple smart plays. But the Hawks are just a very deep and skilled team with lots of grit. Neither team has what I'd call scary goaltending. Take the Hawks in 6 punishing games
Sharks against Kings - The Sharks eliminated the District 5 Peewee Ducks in the first round so we don't know how good the Sharks are. The Kings went through a tough physical team in the Blues and really turned on their beast mode when they needed it. Take the Kings in 6
Ottawa and Pittsburgh - The Sens looked very good in the first series and showed that they can agitate the crap out of a team. The Pens have all kinds of holes in their game right now and MAF flopped worse then a hobo finding a crack rock. But I look at that Pens lineup and think that they will get it together at some point. Folks this one goes the distance Pens in 7.
Rangers against the Bruins - The Bruins didn't look so funkin good until the last 10 minutes of their series against the Leafs (heh heh heh), the Rangers can play that physical but boring collapse to the net style. Will the Bruins find their physical game? No Rangers in 6 low scoring games.
